wash bucket posted:Apparently some of the recent Star Wars spin-offs got a little too nuanced in their depictions of the rebels vs the empire because one of my coworkers said their kids started coming to some awkward conclusions about whether America were "the good guys". The captain america show, with the new guy. The falcon? That show just straight up had the heroes hunt down and kill refugees and anti fascists, and at the end the new captain america just goes "cant we all just get along???" after murdering the 100% justified in all her actions antagonist.

Now hold on, they totally had that 2 minute scene where the antagonist killed some people randomly for no reason.

God drat I think the new captain america, who is black, even has a crisis of faith over the horrific police brutality depicted in the show and referenced from real life events, and then immediately decorums up and learns no lessons apart from the ends (fascist rule) justifies the means (brutally murdering millions with a police state)

Organza Quiz posted:Yeah the first couple of seasons of Korra are not nearly as good as ATLA but after that it does get good so I think it's worth pushing through. Wow, just have to watch hours of mediocre crap to see something that pales in comparison to the original. I'm sold. E: I'm sorry. That was harsh, I don't know how to delete this.

You could have an award-winner, a best-seller, or a legacy of talent, and if the execs think that canning everyone will get their numbers to go up for the quarter, you'll be out the door quicker than you can blink. Edit: What's that, VP of Marketing?

He was just "The Falcon" and now he's "Captain America", "Captain Falcon" is the way he's distinguished here in the real world from the original Cap.

The IRA, the Provisional IRA, the Real IRA, or IRA Classic? Turns out when you're a decentralized paramilitary organization involved with organized crime it's quite hard to get everyone to say "right lads job's a good un let's pack it in for now" at the same time.

Didn't the IRA nail someone to a fence at the weekend? I mean personally i think thats pretty scary but then again im not a hardcore Boer so what do i know. Tbh it might have been the other side, but my point that there are plenty of scary af people in Ireland still stands - and i have a sneaking suspicion musk dont know poo poo (about anything)
